Officers should re-double their effort in the fight against insecurity which had bedeviled the country today. A lot is expected of you in contributing your quota towards the sustainability of peace and unity in the country\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In his goodwill message on behalf of the Armed Forces and paramilitary, the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Faruq Yahaya said that security agencies were expected to tap from the wealth of experience, commitment, dedication, and unblemished service of the new AIGs whenever they are deployed to critical areas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo one agency can do it alone today, for us to work together and synergize and bring each agency uniqueness and competency together in unison against both known and unknown adversaries, none can withstand our collective efforts,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, the IG said that as the nation faced with complex security challenges, it is expedient that the Nigeria Police Force being the lead agency in internal security management is repositioned to deal with the current dynamics of crime and future security threats.<\/p>\n<p>He said the process requires a deliberate manpower development policy that would identify, elevate, and position professionally competent officers who will act as the strategic policy managers that will drive police vision and give effect to strategies that are directed at responding to current and emerging security threats.<\/p><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Minister of Police Affairs, Muhammad Dingyadi has said that no Deputy Inspector General and Assistant Inspector-General of Police was retired after the appointment of the Inspector- General of Police,&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":84074,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-84073","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
